History of Timex Watches
Timex has always been a name that is associated with quality reliable and long lasting watches. Since the 1960’s Timex has been at the top of the charts in sales in the US out selling all the other brands.
The first Timex was seen in 1949 and since that time Timex has been a contender for producing quality watches at affordable prices. One main reason this is so is that during this time, the majority of jewelers marked up the items sold to consumers 50%, however, Timex wanted their watches to be affordable, therefore they only allows the jewelers to place a 30% markup on their watches, thus staying below the prices of their competitors. In the beginning, many jewelers refused to sell the Timex watches. Timex was not about to give in and choose instead to sell their watches directly to other retail outlets such as hardware stores and drugstores.
By the early 1970’s Timex had to change their design of watches to keep up with new competitors in the digital market. In 1972, the first digital Timex hit the market. Of course, throughout the years, Timex has worked to stay ahead of their competitors with new innovative gadgets and styles to keep the masses happy and to allow their fans the chance to purchase well built reliable watches for less than the designer watches on the market. However, this does not mean that Timex watches are not just as luxury as the designer ones, only that they are less expensive.
Another great thing about Timex watches is they produce watches for everyone. They do not cater to only the diver, the woman, or the man. You will find a large array of watches for the entire family including the kids with their exclusive designs.
